Three members set up a stall for four hours near the Labour Party Conference venue to distribute leaflets to Labour Party delegates and other passers-by. No problem getting people to take them or to engage in political discussion. As anticipated, there were many new Labour Party members attending a Labour Conference for the first time who were more interested in ideas than in becoming MPs or local councillors, them asking “why don’t you join the Labour Party and help us change it?” and us replying “you can’t make capitalism work 'for the many not the few'”. Others recognised us from previous LP Conferences.

No sign of SWP or SPEW. They must be lying low for the time being. The only Trots around were “Socialist Appeal” and the AWL. Others distributing leaflets were anti-Corbyn “moderates”, which must have been a bit of a come-down for them after ruling the roost for so long. Two demonstrations passed by, one to “Save the NHS” and a much bigger anti-Brexit one chanting “Exit Brexit” and “Liberté” (clearly some people are really pissed off that the xenophobes won the referendum). Sold £17.50, or rather, since the police said we hadn’t got a licence to sell, in donations as we couldn’t prevent people taking a pamphlet and leaving a donation. The best selling pamphlet, rather surprisingly, was Anton Pannekoek’s “Marxism and Darwinism”.In the second photo the tall man with red hair and beard pointing is the Labour MP for Brighton Kemptown, Lloyd Russell-Moyne. Note the party's table banner occupying an unusally elevated and prominent position.

It seems the LP conference could be covered tomorrow (Wednesday 27th) after all, but I'm waiting to hear from a London comrade who may be able to help support a Brighton comrade running the stall outside the venue.

Two comrades ran a stall outside the LP conference again today. Very successful few hours of activity although not quite as busy as on Sunday. However, the remainder of the estimated 800+ leaflets were given out, more debates were had and there was an increase in 'donations' at £26.30. Total literature sales for the two days stands at almost £44.00. Four names were added to the list of contacts.
